the debug instruction only works if compiled with debugging information 
(as the documentation states), i hope, this is the case?
why don't use Print or if it has to be stderr, Error?
however, things like this (iterating through container children and 
changing attributes) normally work for me, if the strings in the array 
match the names of the controls? i quite can't imagine why there is a 
difference between using xxx As Control and As Object but i never tried 
using As Control...
